Summer Treats (Ice Cream, Etc)


SweetDsMom

I hadn't put any thought to this until my parents recently mentioned they had wanted to get my son an ice cream treat then realized they shouldn't.

Are there ice cream brands known for being gluten free, or at least "gluten friendly" where some flavors are fine? And what about things like snowballs, etc?

This is something that I know when we're out and about can make for fun treats, but - perhaps not so much.

My famiily has had no problems with going to DQ for ice cream. At least not so far.

We do DQ. Just be careful with the mix-in kinds. They might have made an oreo or cookie dough one right before yours and they don't clean between mixings. I think a lot of the prepackaged ice cream bars, fudgesicles, popsicle things are OK. Check the ingredients or website if there is a brand or kind you like. Also, Frosties at Wendy's are supposed to be gluten-free (once again, watch the mix-ins). My son got m&m but there was some oreo in his -not sure which place we were at. Doesn't matter to him.

The Vanilla and Chocolate soft serve at DQ and Dilly Bars and Starkisses are gluten free. Dairy Queen had a great list of gluten free items on their website which was recently updated. McDonald's ice cream and chocolate and vanilla milkshakes are also gluten free. Breyer's Natural Ice Creams (chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry) are gluten free.

Most of the fudgisicle ingredients which I've come across contain gluten (malt flavoring) and some popsicles also have gluten in them. All Dove chocolate ice cream products are gluten free. I hope this helps. I was recently diagnosed but have been researching this are because I love ice cream!

I eat Luigi's Italian Ices from the grocery store. They are gluten-free and have a variety pack of 3 flavors. Not bad at all. Add a little soda to the top and let them thaw a bit and the are a little fancier.

I eaten numerous snowballs and none have given me any trouble.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
